(x- post) Review: Tim Finkas Scythian hat
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2006 9:18 am
Hey all,
I recently commissioned Tim Finkas to make me a Scythian hat. Tim is vastly researched in this area and very helpful in educating me on what a historically accurate item would likely be. He was timely and his work is excellent. Communication was constant throughout.
I feel I got a great deal and I highly recommend Tim to anyone who'd be interested in commissioning his work. Tim cares and it shows at all points.
Here it is:

Based on the Kul Oba vase figures, but since the hats on that jar are distorted a bit and frankly look unnatural, the design has been mitigated by looking at other Skythian examples for additional influence. It is faithful to the period iconography.
Now I just need a beard...
